Woman finds knife-wielding man in her home

A knife-wielding man forced his way into a Bracknell home and demanded cash and cigarettes.

The woman was disturbed by a noise coming from the kitchen of her house in Ollerton, Hanworth at around 10.45pm on Sunday May 1.

She then found the suspect standing in front of her holding what is believed to be a red handled knife. He fled after the victim gave into his demands. The woman wasn’t hurt.

The suspect is described as 6ft 3in tall, slim, possibly of mixed race. He was wearing black gloves, a black balaclava, a black baseball with a white logo on the front, black tracksuit bottoms and a black hooded top with a white Nike logo on the chest.
